Housed within a former pub, this characterful Indian restaurant exudes charm. Head inside and you’ll be greeted by lively music and chunky wooden tables adorned with tealights. Once seated at one such table, I began with smoky stir-fried squid, which was paired with cucumber raita and colourful beetroot sauce. My dining partner plumped for the aloo tikka chat, which is a North Indian snack comprising potato, ginger, cumin and spiced chickpea. It was accompanied by an assortment of chutneys, and my partner declared it delicious. Our tastebuds sufficiently warmed up, we moved on to the main event. I ordered the prawn malai curry, which was delicious creamy and had quite the kick. Meanwhile my partner enjoyed chicken makhani – succulent chicken in a rich sauce of tomato, ginger and fenugreek. Both went down a treat, with any remaining sauce mopped up by the warm naan we chose to accompany our meal. I finished with a fragrant rose crème brûlée, while my partner chose the Indian take on bread pudding, named double ka meetha. It was soaked in milk, saffron and cardamom and filled with dry fruits, and smelled and tasted amazing.

All in all we had a very pleasant evening, thanks to the amazing food and welcoming atmosphere. The staff made our meal all the more special, with each course delivered efficiently and with a smile.
